I'd never been to acting school, so I never thought I'd get this far.
From John Ratzenberger
You've got to write for your audience.
In L.A., though, people get off busses calling themselves actors, so many are really not professionals.
I started improvising the Cliff character, based on someone I grew up with.
Two days later I got a call that they wanted to try out the character for seven episodes. Eleven years and 22 Emmys later, Cliff was still sitting at that bar.
There are times over different projects when I've asked the writers why people are swearing for no good reason. I tell them that it would be funnier if there weren't these swear words.
